Figured some people may not know this but sadly that's the native resolution of the game. Dings are given a disproportionate amount of importance in this event.. Score-wise and all other things being equal a triple bogey or whatever with a ding somewhere beats a properly played hole where you barely miss the birdie putt played ding-less
Maybe I notice it more with the free ball but this would help pretty much anyone if you want a decent ding rate and are playing off-dingish on a higher res like me. Sacrifice the game looking pretty for a couple days for the dings. Go into settings>resolution>1024x768
